.456 dia.expander plug

Post by Outrider »

Where can I get a .456 dia. expander plug to fit in my Lyman expander die. Wiser men than myself say that .002 neck tension is enough and the stock factory plug is .454. Any thoughts?

Try Buffalo Arms, if they don't have one in stock, I am pretty sure that they can have one made for you in short order :lol: Randy

Give Lyman a call. They will gladly make you one. Or, you can go to any good machine shop and have one made. I make my own.

Keep your powder dry.

Lyman will tell you to get lost. Call Buffalo Arms. However, I should say that I tried .456 & .457 expander plugs and my groups got worse. I'm still using the .454 ones.
